"It's not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls have never been attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it. It's an injustice, a crime, because I don't know what you don't see in me. I'm the perfect guy, and yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men, instead of me, the supreme gentleman."Oh yeah, you were the "perfect guy" all right. If by "perfect guy" and "supreme gentleman," you mean "great, big, fat, whiny, fucking baby," then, yeah, you filled the bill all right

Nope, no sympathy here. He had the world on a platter, but embraced these gross and misogynistic ideologies about how he was entitled to women. College isn't about sex, it is about getting an education. I saw some screenshots of MRA trolls praising him as a hero, and people are saying women are to blame for all this because "someone should have given him pity sex" and that would have prevented this narcissistic douchebag from murdering innocent people.

.....I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

He was a monster, plain and simple. Whoever dropped the ball on evaluating him needs to lose their job immediately. Just those bits from his manifesto and his video rant are enough to prove he was seriously disturbed and had a plan.

There were at least three incidents in that manifesto where he threw hot coffee on people, and another where he threw iced tea on people. And several more where he almost did.

Oh goodie.

It's on CNN right now and instead of talking about entitlement complexes and 'deserving' of girlfriends and general talk of mental health

It's because the guy played violent video games.

Because violent video games are always the easiest scapegoats to use.

Ugh, not that bullshit again.

[ginger_maya]

Seriously?! They're playing that fiddle again? Un-fucking-believable.

This guy really reminds me of Vox Day.

Everything about this is just so enraging, I just can't even. The entitlement men are taught that they have to women's bodies and lives.

And then it's all, "well, he's mentally ill, that's the problem."

THAT'S NOT THE REAL PROBLEM HERE. They are taught not to respect boundaries, not to respect women's autonomy and lives, that consent doesn't matter, and that they are entitled to women's bodies by virtue of the fact that they are males.

RIP to the victims who died and I hope the ones that are still alive pull through and are ok. What a horrible situation.

To be fair, there seems to be some genuine evidence of mental illness in his case. I caught a bit of an interview with a Forensic Psychologist that was reviewing the manifesto left behind, and he mentioned several red flags suggesting a very severe "Personality Disorder

maybe so, but it sounds like rodger had been getting help for years. i suspect if he had any type of diagnosis, the family lawyer would have said so, he didn't hesitate to say rodger had aspergers. this person had all the resources, money and access to mental health care in the world and he was still an entitled goon.

He had the best care that a hollywood director's salary could buy and was seeing multiple therapists. There is no "to be fair" in this case.
